Look for the post from the unlicensed broker that got a bid approved, started advertising on craigslist, and got a call threatening a cease and desist.

@Jonathan Johnson - reviews.com is not an actual review site - they just are advertisements is all. 

.= Allows me to store information/photos about the units and advertise them easily as vacancies occur.= Allows tenants to fill out and submit a rental application and pay the application fee= Provides credit reports and background checks= Accepts rental payments and late fees= Allows me to communicate with tenants= Keeps track of documents (leases, move-in inspections and the like)= Has a mobile appAny suggestions? 

The norm is that if a lease is broken the landlord has to mitigate their loss, meaning advertise and re-rent ASAP, which he has done, which means he has experienced no losses other than the costs of advertising if any as a result of your failure to fulfill this contract.

There are a lot of great options out there; aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. all of the other tools in addition to their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

Advertise, take applications, screen, select the most qualified.To restrict your requirements to vets only is discriminatory. 

So for me, I found that advertising only on the internet automatically got me a tenant pool more in line with my parameters and less ridiculous phone calls.

Still a long way off from the double digit rates of the Reagan years.

The Milwaukee market is quite diverse and while we have areas that have seen double digit appreciation in 2016 YoY there are others - especially low price point areas - that have flat lined.
